I hear Bernie just made a joke about "colored people's time"

[Armstead]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...What would be the reactions of his critics and the media if that were true?

(Hopefully, clarification not needed -- but this is not true. Totally hypothetical.)

[Nanjeanne]

1. I heard he did this while pushing a young woman out of his way so he could get on the subway.

[Live and Learn]

2. ROFL

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. That was because of the sniper fire.

But at this point, what difference does it make?

[farleftlib]

13. Sniper fire! That's why she can't get to those GS transcripts.

She'd have to dodge sniper fire to get to them.

[Dragonfli]

15. Maybe Chelsea can lay down cover fire so she can run over and retrieve them /nt

[beedle]

21. I hear she was over there making money

to pay off her student loan.

26. And that was so he could make it to the airport

so he could fly to Rome to deliver a speech to an obscure organization nobody cares about, but only because his devious henchman Jeffrey Sachs won a thumb-wrestling contest with the Pope.

[Nanjeanne]

34. Ha. How did I forget that part?

[B Calm]

3. Have you heard about Bill Clinton pointing and wagging his finger at the BLM movement pushing

Black people to the curb and pat his bad cops on the back?

[BreakfastClub]

25. That wasn't BLM. It was another group. And Bill was right. nt

[m-lekktor]

4. Hey my dad tells fag jokes all the time but that's ok because he has a gay son!!

by the way I am the gay son (before somebody alerts on this because i used the gay slur, just tryin to make a point)

[geek tragedy]

5. you guys should totally make this the centerpiece of the campaign.

you only have 3-4 posts on his subject in the past hour.

[Armstead]

6. Well we have some catching up to do with Popegate

[geek tragedy]

7. you're catching up fast.

[Armstead]

9. Nah, a few thousand expressions of dismay and campaign advice to catch up

[geek tragedy]

12. reminding New York primary voters that BdB is a Clinton supporter

sounds like a great idea to me.

Go for it!

[Armstead]

14. BdB is doing that

I actually am not terribly offended -- though somewhat surprised at their tin ear with this.

What I am pissed off at is the whole racial marketing that began from the day Bernie had the effrontery to challenge Clinton. And the hypocrisy of those who are letting this lack of taste and judgement slide.

[JI7]

8. the anger is over POC still voting for her

And they feel it's unfair.

[geek tragedy]

10. they probably don't know BdB's reputation for punctuality nt

[chascarrillo]

19. I am sorry that you're okay with racist jokes, I really am. -nt-

[bettyellen]

16. A lawn jockey? You're jumping the ugly shark here.

[Aerows]

17. Good grief

I agree - no reason to go there.

[bettyellen]

18. Thanks. This shit is getting crazy. I know the OP is better than this, so it kind of kills me

to read this kind of crap here. Not helping with these ugly little what ifs. Right now GDP is like 90% ugly speculation, 10% truth. Too much crap.

[Armstead]

30. You're right.I removed it......but the video is too close for comfort

[bettyellen]

33. I do appreciate that, thank you. As often as we disagree I appreciate how much you are able to

listen and argue without losing respect for others here. It is getting to be an all too rare thing here.
The video was bizarre to say the least. I would hate to be the person who made the call that CP shit was okay today, it was really offensive as well an overreach on their talents- rapping with a Hamiltonian? Fucking stupid to even try.

[Vinca]

20. Oh, jeez. Now that will be spread around the Internet as the slur du jour.

Was the Pope with him?

[uponit7771]

22. "when you talk about ghettos traditionally, what you talk about is African-American communities. "

[Ferd Berfel]

23. Abe Sez......

On Mon Apr 11, 2016, 05:01 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I hear Bernie just made a joke about "colored people's time" standing next to a lawn jockey
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511707587

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is supposed to be racist humor? Epic fail. Hide this crap.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 11, 2016, 05:06 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert is an epic fail, since this refers to comments made by Hillary. Which is the whole point -- the blatant double-standard at DU.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I feel that the skin is way too thin on some people. This is neither racist or out of line, it was meant to make one question their own thought processes. It should stay
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Took it too far with the lawn jockey remark. Hide.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While a little edgy. I get the literary intent. For those who finally got around to flagging it, after it survived for over an hour - GROW THE FUCK UP!
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

[Armstead]

29. Oh well...

[In_The_Wind]

27. No idea what you're talking about.

[Armstead]

28. THis

[In_The_Wind]

32. Epic fail 'cause I'm not laughing.

Thanks for that darned link.

[Puglover]

31. Can you even imagine

the howls of outrage that would carry on for months from certain parts of this website it this had been Bernie?

And yet strangely nada but crickets.

Both sides are capable of selective outrage but this is stunning.

[Cheese Sandwich]

35. I can't believe the amount of excuses some people make for Hillary.

Ridiculous.
